Chinese automaker <a title="Guangzhou Automobile Group" href="http://www.gaig.com.cn/2011/english/" target="_blank">Guangzhou Automobile Group</a> brought this pile of letters and numbers to the <a title="Inhabitat: 2013 Detroit auto show" href="http://inhabitat.com/index.php?s=detroit+auto+show" target="_blank">2013 Detroit Auto Show</a>, to show off its <a title="Inhabitat: electric car" href="http://inhabitat.com/index.php?s=electric+car" target="_blank">all-electric drivetrain</a> in a performance-oriented SUV body.

NAIAS 2013: Guangzhou's GS5-BEV

We love the idea of bi-directional house-vehicle charging, which seems to be an increasingly popular concept among <a title="Inhabitat: VIA Motors Press Conference 2012 Detroit Auto Show" href="http://inhabitat.com/live-from-naias-bob-lutz-introduces-via-motors-with-the-erev-vtrux-extended-range-ev-pickup/" target="_blank">automakers</a> who realize the potential advantages of using a vehicle as a house or equipment generator.

The looks of the Trumpchi GS5-BEV are also better than we expected, given the low bar set at previous auto shows by other Chinese automakers such as Geely. Guangzhou actually brought three green models to show off, including its GS5-BEV, the 4WD Trumpchi Hybrid sedan, and the E-jet Concept Extended-Range electric car.
